What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 May 2024
Pupils are very proud to attend Mill View. They benefit from very positive relationships that they have with staff. This helps them to flourish into well-rounded young people by the end of Year 6. Pupils are kind and compassionate. They know that these are values that the school holds dear. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. This contributes to a calm and purposeful environment. Pupils enjoy coming to school and seeing their friends. Pupils have high levels of attendance. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well. They rise to the high ambition that the school has of their learning. As a result, pupils leave very well prepared for the next stage in their education. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities on offer. For example, all pupils in key stages 1 and 2 have a leadership role. As a member of one of the seven school councils, pupils impact positively on the life of the school. For instance, the councils are working together to develop a willow sculpture trail for the benefit of the whole school community. In addition, pupils take advantage of the clubs on offer. These include tennis, cricket and chess. Pupils are helped to discover their talents. For example, every pupil has the opportunity to represent their school in a sports' match during the year.
